Unconsciousness
Carl Gustav Jung (July 26, 1875 – June 6, 1961)
swiss psychiatrist, an influential thinker and the founder of analytical psychology.
Jung is often considered the first modern psychologist to state that the human psyche is "by nature religious" and to explore it in depth
Mother crazy, claimed to be visited by spirits at night
convinced from childhood that he had two personalities—a modern Swiss citizen and a personality more at home in the eighteenth century.
Collaborated closely with Freud
BASIC THEORY: Jung believed that personality was developed by introversion, extraversion, personal unconsciousness, and collective unconsciousness.
The collective unconsciousness contains the memories we have inherited from our human and nonhuman ancestors. According to Jung we are not consciously aware of these memories, but they are responsible for our enate tendancies to react in particular to certain things
Interversion: is a tendency to reflect on ones own experiences
Extraversion: is the tendency to focus on the social world
Personal unconscious: Often referred to by him as "No man’s land," the personal unconscious is located at the fringe of conscious, between two worlds: "the exterior or spacial world and the interior or psychic objective world"
STAGES: Jung believed that people didn't develop in set stages, but instead inherited the collective unconsciousness from their ancestors and developed a personal unconscious from experiences throughout their lives and both together effect a persons conscious decisions and actions. Jung's theory of a personal unconscious is quite similar to Freuds creation of a region containing a person's repressed, forgotten or ignored experiences. Theory on Neurosis: Neurosis as believed by Jung was caused by failure to cope with a complex that forces unrealistic behavior. Forces from the collective unconscious can also overwhelm the ego and cause neurotic behavior. Jung believed like Freud that some neurosis was inevitable, and the secret to anyone persons development of a neurosis was locked away deep in there past, in the personal unconscious.
